Development of an NIA Practice-Based Research Network to Conduct Alzheimer ’ s and Related Dementias Clinical Research
Overview: NIA will be hosting a virtual meeting to discuss the potential and planning of a practice-based research network (PBRN) to address the disparities gap with the recruitment and retention of diverse and underserved populations to AD/ADRD clinical research studies.PBRNs are groups of health care clinicians and practices working together to answer community-based health care questions and translate research findings into practice — they have the potential to directly engage diverse and underserved communities in AD/ADRD clinical research. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of what a PBRN is, learn abou...

Young Blood for Old Brains
Speaker Tony Wyss-Coray's laboratory studies the role of immune and injury responses in neurodegeneration and Alzheimer ’ s disease. We seek to understand how immune responses and injury pathways may modulate neurodegeneration and age-related changes in the brain. We study these pathways in vivo and in cell culture using a number of genetic and proteomic tools. We have been particularly interested in the TGF-beta signaling pathway as a major regulator of biological processes and we are developing genetic and pharmacological agents to manipulate this pathway.For more information go tohttps://oir.nih.gov/walsAir date: 3/31...

From Mechanisms to Medicines: Realizing the DREAM of an Alzheimer's Cure
NIH Director's Seminar Series
The repeated failures of disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer ’ s disease (AD) have increased the urgency to identify novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers for AD and related dementias (ADRD). Dr. Thambisetty's Clinical and Translational Neuroscience Section has applied a systems biology approach leveraging deep molecular phenotyping by multi-OMICs methods in brain and blood in combination with multi-modal neuroimaging and epidemiological analyses to identify abnormal metabolic pathways in ADRD associated with severity of pathology and expression of clinical symptoms. These studies ...
